Ok! I'll jump in too! Just last night I had written up a to-do list for today. One of the items was to sit down and work out my fitness goals on paper! This thread is great timing!
Living the student life for so long really did a number on my eating habits. It doesn't help that I eat sugar and drink soda like it's going out of fashion.
Here are my fitness goals:
** Let's see, first, I could probably stand to lose about 25 pounds. According to fitday.com, to meet my goal, I would need to lose about 1.77 lb per week. That sounds pretty reasonable to me.
** Increase flexibility. For someone who was an ice skater for 10 years, my flexibility is practically non-existant.
** Decrease body fat. I've always been muscular and athletic. Getting on the scale is sometimes deceiving as I weigh a lot more than I look. In other words, my muscle content weighs down the scale and makes it hard to track fat loss. So, I have one of those nifty scales that does body fat readings. Mine is currently 34%. Ack, that needs to go!
Here's how I hope to accomplish this:
1) Drink no more than two (12oz can) sodas a day.
-- I'm already working on this. I greatly dislike the taste of diet sodas. However, I found that diet rootbeer and Dr. Pepper are ok. I alternate drinking the sugar ones with drinking the diet ones.
2) Drink two glasses of water a day.
3) Eat breakfast at least 3 days a week.
You all must understand that this will be a challege for me! 
4) Participate in aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes a day (walk, dance, run, etc).
5) Participate in some stretching, yoga or pilates activites at least three times a week.
Good luck everyone!
